Diamonds Thudufushi Maldives Resort & Spa ★★★★★

very nice place, like paradise. with beautiful sea water and sunset. all staff very good and helpfull. beautiful paradise to holiday.

This resort is paradise. They know how to ensure you have your once is a lifetime dream vacation.

great location and service

food need more variety revise activities prices

The Staff and warmth by all especially the Italian staff at front office and the F&B Manager Prasanta , The Srilankan Chef and Muhamed who personally looked after us.

1)The food Quality can improve. While I understand that everything is imported mostly ,it can be improved 2) The sea Plane service spoilt half a day upon arrival and half a day at departure as they have tight schedules.

The resort was just the right size; neither too big or small. They seem to cater for couples rather than families which meant there were less people at the resort allowing the staff to be more attentive. Everyone was super friendly and the service was 5 star along with the food. We know of a few couples who visited Meeru island for their honeymoon and we did a lot of research and comparisons with Meeru but chose diamonds Thudufushi, and we have absolutely no regrets. Highly recommend this resort for couples.

The water villa was a bit far from the beach but that is expected, and it is both a positive (nice and secluded) and negative so we really can't complain. On the plus side, they do offer a buggy service which you can call and request from the water villa. We did a 50:50 split with a beach villa, and water villa. The only negative I would say was that the shower at the water villa was not as hot as the beach villa.

All the staff were very nice. But the nicest and with a high class service was Hussein who worked as a waitress. He was quick, curious and always knew what was needed. So nice and humble. Another person who made us feel at home was Rasal who drove the golf cart. He could see us from far away and was on the spot quickly. nice, always asked how we were and if we are fine and if something is missing. Even the man who cleaned our room, unfortunately can't remember his name, always clean and fresh in The room. Then I would also like to add that the two managers of the resort are very professional and want the best for the visitors. Their employees also spoke highly of them, which makes the whole experience that much extra. Thanks to the staff, we would love to come back. Thank you Diamonds Thudufushi for an unforgettable week.

Nothing!! Everything was !!

very good food and accommodation

faced issues with hot water & was solved in 2 days

The setting was ideal. just far enough away from Male to feel exclusive but only a short sea plan ride away. The staff were informative and incredibly friendly. they couldn’t do enough to help you and ensure that you enjoyed your stay. The food was absolutely outstanding! There was so much choice and fresh options every day.

Nothing! If we had to pick one thing, Island life meant that sand was often brought in to the room on feet and towels and although housekeeping came twice a day to clean, a little brush to sweep it out ourselves would have helped keep the room a little cleaner.

Location and food

Villas need some maintenance especially the terrace and bathroom/ shower areas. Terrace lounge furniture old, falling apart and dirty.

Perfect barefoot luxury. Fabulous balance of authentic Italian food (with Italian chefs) and local Maldivian fish. Diving was world class

We could not have asked for a livelier time, friendlier or more helpful staff, beautiful location… everything was just perfect.

Was amazing place for vacation I love that place as heaven

food, drinks, staff

diving expensive

This is our second time on Maldives (first time was 8 years ago and we stayed at Veligandu which we really loved). The Diamonds Thudufushi resort is extremely relaxing - calm, friendly staff, great food (except breakfast), great nature! Some guests come here each year for a very long time which is a quality proof for me. Guests come from Italy, Swiss, South Africa, Russia, etc. We booked the Eco Beach Villa (I double checked before our arrival and the staff notified that Eco is the same as ordinary Beach Villa). Upon arrival we have been provided with villa No 3 but the air conditioning did not work. The staff suggested two other villas and we choose villa No 31 on the different side of the island. Nevertheless it was similar type of villa (Beach Villa), villa No 31 looked bigger and not so outdated. Beach villas No 1-6 are located close to the reception and have long beach between the villa and the sea. Beach villas No 6-26 have a beach just in front of the villa but also a view to the island under construction nearby as well as breakwaters. Villas No 28-35 has the best view and beach. There is no big difference between Beach Villas and Beach Junior Suits (just more space inside) - both are located close to each other alternately. We also stayed 2 nights at water villa. Water villas are very well furnished, with really huge terrace but it is not the best choice for the baby (we stayed with a kid 1,5 years old). As for me beach villas are more cozy. Water villas do not have an open air shower (and the beach villas do). There is no kids playground, swimming pool or some other activities for the kids. However our kid (1,5 years old) was not bored. All of the staff was extremely friendly with him. The Water Sport guys has some kids toys (shovel, bucket, balls, etc). We rented a private boat for the Manta Safari and Snorkelling - highly recommended! Thanks to Raul.

The below are just facts or recommendations to improve (but these things are not making the hotel worse and are not a negative thing for me): There are no stamps for the postcards, feminine goods, wipes and condoms as well as kids diapers and kids sunscreens for sale in the boutique. So take with you everything what you may need. The spa is a little bit overpriced for what you get (~100 usd for a one hour massage). The house reef is almost dead. However a lot of fish, turtles, sharks. Breakfast is a disaster - poor variety, food is not tasty. I cannot understand why lunch and dinner are so tasty but the breakfast is so poor and the same each day! Definitely need to be improved. A lot of mosquitoes at the beach villa. Beach foreland near the bar is empty and cannot be used - I would recommend to place some umbrellas and sunbeds.

The Diamonds Thudufushi hotel is very nice! It feels like Paradise! The island is truly beautiful, quiet and peaceful. It is small, but not boring at all. I felt connected to the beautiful nature, enjoyed every minute at the island and really relaxed. Snorkeling was great, both at the house reef and at organized tours/safaris, especially all the colorful fishes, manta rays, turtles and small reef sharks (the latter are impressive but not dangerous at all). The personnel takes care of the island, and all the tourists are asked to respect and preserve the exquisite beauty of the coral reef. The food is amazing, with a wonderful combination of Italian and Asian dishes. The personnel deserves special emphasis: everyone here is very friendly and professional, giving every guest a very warm welcome and taking care of any questions. The guides, waiters, chef’s crew, bartenders, receptionists, the doctor, housekeepers...the list can be continued...are great! Easter party organized at the beach was amazingly beautiful! The Balinese massage at the spa, fishing and other watersports activities were cool. There’s a diving center and a small nice gym. Snorkeling gear is provided for free. We stayed several days in the beach villa and then in a water villa, both are very nice. Although the island is very small, it is not crowded, you can always feel almost alone and enjoy this beautiful place not being bothered. Cocktails at the bar are great! You can have a drink sitting by the sea, chat with others sharing impressions about this beautiful place. All in all, I liked the resort very much and sincerely recommend it! If I was asked what else could be added/improved - I’d say that I’d love to have some yoga/stretching/fitness/meditation practices with an instructor at the island.

Everything is great!

The location is a piece of paradise. People working there are amazing. You'll never take a no as an answer. They'll do everything to make you feel perfect.

In some parts property is somehow old. There are some areas where some renewal works are needed

The hotel is very basic..can't be 5 stars at all ..if you will ask for siliper or dental kit they will tell you buy from the supermarket.. The spa was less than normal ..the hotel has no facilities very less ..the hotel is far from the sea plane so you need to take additional boats ..the hotel is dark in the night no sufficient lights are used ..the food taste was very nice but zero variety..its set menu..

dinner and lunch was not good , it was simple and poor quality.

rooms quality and furniture was poor like a one star hotel!
